Chapter 127

This question, I’m afraid no one knows except Gildarts?

After all, until now, except for the Black Dragon, Acnologia, Gildarts has never shown his full strength in front of anyone.

Therefore, even the members of Fairy Tail were confused.

Sting: "However, no matter what, Black Natsu-san does possess the record of dragon slaying, and it was a titled dragon."

Irene: "I have said many times, combat power is not calculated like this. There is no doubt that Black Natsu is very strong."

"However, this involves the relationship of mutual generation and restraint."

"And, being able to defeat the Lightning Dragon back then also had many coincidences and help."

August: "So, Irene values Gildarts more?"

Irene: "No, I don't value anyone. To be precise, none of us know to what extent Black Natsu has reached."

"And we don't know just how strong this Gildarts is."

"Therefore, I think it’s better not to jump to conclusions."

In the footage.

Countless Vulcans fell into a faint under the red-black lightning.

Dense bodies lay on the ground.

The earth was full of charred black ravaged by lightning.

In the air, there was still the smell of meat being burnt by electricity.

In all directions, the noisy sounds from just a moment ago fell into silence at this moment.

Black Natsu put his hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping over the bodies on the ground.

Then he cleared a path with magic power.

And left straight ahead.

On the other side, accompanied by the sound of thunder falling.

A huge monster over ten meters tall fell slowly to the ground.

Laxus was panting slightly.

Then he locked his gaze in another direction.

Just a moment ago, from there, red-black lightning rushed into the sky.

A feeling that Laxus couldn't describe covered the entire island in an instant.

Even the huge monster that was dueling him at the time was affected and fell into a brief stiffness at that moment.

It was this brief opportunity that Laxus seized to deliver a fatal blow.

Completely knocking down this huge monster blocking the road.

"What... exactly is that thing over there?"

"Natsu??"

The more he thought about it, the tighter Laxus’s brows furrowed.

That kid... when did he possess this kind of ability?

Isn't he a Fire Dragon Slayer Black Mage?

How could he...

With doubts, Laxus continued to move forward.

Crossing the body of the fallen huge monster, he walked along the road ahead to the end.

After pushing aside the bushes that obscured his vision, Laxus arrived at this open space.

This is the center of the island, but there is no sign of Gildarts.

There is only Black Natsu, who arrived here first.

"Tch, you actually beat me to it."

Laxus stepped up to Black Natsu and stood still.

"You're not slow either, I just arrived not long ago," Black Natsu replied.

"The rule is that only one person can be promoted, right?"

Laxus said.

Black Natsu nodded upon hearing this: "So, their meaning is very clear. They intend for the two of us to decide the winner here."

The corners of Laxus’s mouth curled upward.

"You should know! How long I’ve been waiting for this day, right?"

"From... one year ago?" Black Natsu asked.

Laxus took a deep breath: "Yes! Starting from a year ago, I began training that could be called hellish."

He tore his clothes to shreds, threw them on the ground casually, revealing his strong muscles.

Then he clenched his fists!

Magic power erupted!

"Over the past year, I have carried too much! And paid too much!"

Brilliant golden lightning completely shrouded Laxus.

He raised his head, his gaze meeting Black Natsu’s in front of him!

"The current me! Has already become much stronger!"

Outside the sky-screen!

Gray: "So awkward, really so awkward!"

Cana: "These words, on our side, are basically what Natsu should say."

Lucy: "Then what is the result every time he finishes saying that?"

Mirajane: "The result?"

Happy: "Being killed in one move without suspense!"

Lucy: "Then, will the situation in that world be reversed?"

Freed: "Don't underestimate Laxus!!!"

Brilliant golden lightning completely shrouded Laxus.

The eruption of magic power even caused the gravel on the ground to float out of thin air.

Golden residual electricity filled the air.

Black Natsu also began to take Laxus in front of him seriously.

Flames began to wrap around his clenched fists! He hooked his fingers at Laxus.

"Come on! Only the one who is still standing can pass through the gate to S-Class."

The corners of Laxus’s mouth also raised a smile.

"This time... I won't underestimate the enemy again!"

Under the effect of lightning, the already thick muscles on Laxus’s body began to swell again.

So much so that his entire physique expanded quite a bit.

Grid-like dragon scales began to erupt on Laxus’s cheeks and arms.

His pupils disappeared completely.

Dragon Force! This is Laxus’s full power, and at this moment, it was completely displayed.

Endless lightning wrapped around Laxus.

He opened his hands suddenly and roared with all his might!

"Come on!! Natsu!!!"

No more hesitation! Or rather, there was no room for any hesitation.

Just as Black Natsu said, only the one who is still standing has the qualification to continue moving toward the gate of S-Class!

Laxus was unwilling to stop here, and he was unwilling to have lost to Black Natsu before.

Therefore, this time he would not hold back at all.

"Let's have a battle with all our might!!"

Accompanied by the roar, Laxus stepped on the ground suddenly.

Wrapped in brilliant golden lightning, Laxus exploded instantly.

Flames began to spread all over Black Natsu’s body, and they were still rising constantly, even igniting the surrounding mountain forest trees!

"You really have become much stronger, Laxus!"

Black Natsu had a smile on his face, and the flames under his feet erupted at this moment.

Driving Black Natsu’s figure to charge forward.

Under the blessing of flames and lightning, the speed of the two figures was also fast enough to be outrageous!

In just an instant, they crossed a distance of hundreds of meters.

Close!

In the eyes of the two, the other’s figure had approached.

Both sides could even hear the roar of the other’s magic power.

Laxus gritted his teeth tightly, and veins kept popping up on his forehead!

The next moment!

Both approached the other’s front,

Laxus stepped on the earth with one foot, forcibly stopping his figure, and his already clenched fist slammed out!

The density of the lightning had reached the level of a light ball.

Slamming toward Black Natsu’s cheek!

Boom————!!!

At the critical moment, Black Natsu raised his left hand and chose to take Laxus’s crushing punch head-on.

Instantly, endless lightning pierced through Black Natsu’s figure.

Rushing wildly toward the back.

Ravaging the earth, shattering stones, kicking up countless dust, causing a huge series of explosions.

Countless towering trees were destroyed by the explosion and fell downward. From the sky above the entire island, one could see the terrifying attack that affected a quarter of the island.

At the center of the magic power intersection, Laxus, who threw a punch, looked at the motionless Black Natsu in shock.

Brilliant golden lightning wandered over his body, as if it couldn't cause any damage to him at all.

"Immune to lightning? That red-black lightning from just now, it really was you!"

Laxus’s pupils appeared, and they were shrinking wildly!

Black Natsu, who blocked Laxus’s full-force blow with one hand, raised his head slowly.

There was still an excited smile on the corners of his mouth.

"This punch... is indeed surprising, Laxus!"

Crimson bursting flames rotated wildly on Black Natsu’s fist.

As his fist was raised, the crimson light even swallowed the golden light emitted by Laxus’s lightning.

His vision was completely shrouded in crimson light.

"Fire Dragon’s—Intentional Bombing Fist!!!"

A fist even more terrifying than the Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist slammed into Laxus!

His eyes had long been replaced by shock!

Blood gushed from his mouth.

In the vision of Laxus, who was flying backward, Black Natsu’s figure in front began to get further and further away, and more and more blurred.

His throat even lost its voice due to the sudden severe pain.

His whole body was like a kite with a broken string, completely losing control.

Constantly flying backward.

Smashing countless towering trees along the way!

Until he slammed into a protruding small hill, causing a huge roar... and
